Quoted from RETROCENGO:I really love this pin, here i my quick review of it
Your LAH is in great condition! Nicest one I have seen. Great work!
Quoted from drummermike:Your LAH is in great condition! Nicest one I have seen. Great work!
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it
Yes trying my best to keep my pins in good shape.
Thanks for watching
Anyone have a friend that wants to join the club? I just listed a LAH in the market.

Quoted from clempo:I wonder why the Big Mistake and the Chicken inserts are milky white instead of semi-transparent with triangular lenses like all the other inserts? In particular, compare Big Mistake with Red Eye which is also white. At first I thought they were repairs by a previous owner, but a quick look on the internet confirmed these are original.
I've been thinking about this and maybe Big Mistake is not like the other semi-transparent inserts because the inside joke is they intentionally made it different to look like a big mistake. That does not explain the Chicken insert though.

I just checked mine too...ditto here. Hmmm, anything in the movie that would be related (can't say I paid that much attention to notice)?
UPDATE....
Pinball is fully up and running.
I install these new decials from Ebay : ebay.com link: LAST ACTION HERO PINBALL CUSHIONED HIGH QUALITY Target Decals Mod
They installed easily and even included extra decals. The cushioning is only on the Cat and Movie ticket targets so it does not effect game play.
I also installed the NVRAM chip; $20 super easy.
Since I replaced my Power Board I had to buy an power adapter from http://www.speakerlightkits.com/ $17 shipped, very easy to install.
My pin has never been better

cat (resized).jpgcrane (resized).jpgdecail (resized).jpgQuestion on my LAH. Just got it up and running. Put in a new Rottendog MPU and PROM v1.12. For some reason it goes into MBall right from the start seems like it's not supposed to. Any ideas?

It keeps releasing balls onto the playfield? Or the actual multiball mode? The crane moves and shaker mode goes and all that stuff?

Quoted from JHS71:Rom 1.13. Audits and adjustments. Can someone explain Adj 45 rerace criterion?
Can't answer your question, but this gent can: https://sites.google.com/site/lahpinballmod/home
He wrote the 1.13 version.
I thought I read this in the thread here somewhere, but I cannot find it anymore. So apologies for the repeat question.
My LAH sound is not as voluminous anymore as it used to be, there is zero low or base, but it is not that the sub is not working anymore. Simply all the lows are cut. Any idea?

LOL Apparently my post the other day didn't save...
Trivia like this bugs me, so I already reached out to Caker, he didn't add that option and didn't know what it was.
Only thing I had found on google was mentioning it was there on a previous game...I think it was R&B, so I'm wondering if it's not LAH specific and/or generic/leftover code like the printers.

Maybe you could check the manuals for other DE games and see if it is mentioned/explained? I agree, at least respect to sounds, DE recycled the crap out of those. I played a LW3 not long ago, half the time I thought I was playing LAH given the sound effects!

With power off, turn your volume control back and forth a few times to try and clean the contacts. Then try again

Will give it a shot later during the week. Doubt that this would be the cause though. As I mentioned, it is not simply lower volume, but the lower frequency that is cut out.

Any chance the bass speaker just died from age? The suspension/cone material does tend to turn to dust over the years. Had the same problem w/Getaway.

Wow, so far so good. It did seem to do the trick, just turning the volume control....weird. Especially since it only had cut out certain frequencies.
Anyhow...Thank You. Cheapest fix ever on this machine.

My volume control is also flaky. It is old!
My volume control is also flaky but works. I bought a Pinsound card and the leg controls. The sound is so much better, especially with @thecapn audio mix. This games sounds and plays just like a new Stern game.

I am still having intermittent dialog from the game. Arnold keeps saying "I'll be back". May be a loose connection. I have not had time to look for it yet.

Basically, I think it is cutting out your cabinet speaker. Try getting some contact cleaner and spray off into the volume control. Usually, you can buy a small spray bottle.

i'll take it apart and clean the contacts, but once again, it is not simply cutting the cab speaker. All speakers work, including the cab, but they cut the lower range of frequency. That's why I am thinking it might be some capacitors on the sound board that might be going bad, but I would have no idea where to start.
I had plenty of success cleaning a volume control spraying it without taking it out of that box, just spraying it from the top side.

Quoted from Bendit:Does the topper do anything? It's police lights, correct? Is it tied to the flashers?
Yes it is the police lights and has flasher in it.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Yes it is the police lights and has flasher in it.
Thanks. But when does it turn on and flash?
I don't have the topper, and wondering if there is a dedicated wire for it that I could re-use. Thanks.

I know it flashes during multiball. I forget the other times. Should be lots of youtube videos to watch.
Back in the day I used these to replace Lethal Weapon 3 toppers. Not seeing a red version anymore. It would work as a topper. Just replace the bulb with an LED or you will blow the fuse on that line.

Quoted from jalpert:I picked up a LAH, needs all kind of help which it will get.
But no topper, anyone have a topper they can sell me or give me a lead on?
Thanks.
I have a topper but cannot use it due to low ceiling. PM me.
PM Sent.

Quoted from TheCapn:What really needs to be done is a really great condition one needs to be 3d scanned. Then someone needs to start reproducing them! Easy $200.
So if a new one is 200 what is mine worth? Thanks.
Quoted from drummermike:So if a new one is 200 what is mine worth? Thanks.
My opinion. 250.00 to 350.00 range, maybe little more to right person
Quoted from pfinny:My opinion. 250.00 to 350.00 range, maybe little more to right person
I'll second that.
My sound is out again. Pin will occasionally say "I'll be back". During play there is no sound. Can I replace the sound board to fix this? Probably worn out.

Does it keep repeating this? I had that happen once. Turned the pin off, turned it on again. Never happened again. Must be a bug somewhere in the code.

Cycling the pin does not help. I had the problem before and it will go away and come back later. (no pun intended!) I need a permanent fix.
